In addition, the game also features online multiplayer game modes that utilize the PSP's ad-hoc wireless capabilities. Unique Character Moves, Games and Game Levels Calculated to grant a gaming encounter to match the spirit of the movie, Up the Video Game on the PSP provides a wealth of enticing features including: character-point moves, unique two-player multiplayer games like Rafting, Balloon pool and Tug-of-war, and 27 levels of gameplay across six environments. Playable Characters and Storyline  | Carl Carl Fredricksen is not your mean hero. He's a retired balloon salesman, who is forced to leave the house he and his wife built together. But instead of moving into an ancient folks home, Carl takes action. He ties thousands of balloons to the roof, lifts the house into the air and sets off for South America, fulfilling the promise he made to his wife years before. But, Carl's plot is challenged by the discovery of a stowaway, the optimistic, overly keen Russell. Carl's journey tests more than his patience when the duo must carry on the farthest weather, shifty terrain, and weird inhabitants of a lost world - as well as each other. |  | Russell Russell is an enthusiastic and persistent 8-year-ancient Junior Wilderness Explorer. Armed with a backpack laden with gear, he is ready for the wilderness. The problem is that he's never really left the city. All his knowledge of the outdoors comes from books, and his sole camping encounter was in his own living room. He's just one "Assisting the Elderly" badge shy of achieving his time goal: Senior Wilderness Explorer. When he targets Carl Fredricksen as the elder he will help, Russell ends up as an unwitting stowaway on Carl's porch when the house takes flight and finds himself on the right outdoor adventure he's been dreaming about. |  | Kevin Named "Kevin" by Russell, this exceptionally rare, 13-foot-tall flightless bird is hidden from the world in its remote Paradise Falls surroundings. Kevin is exceptionally quick and nimble despite its size. In fact, the massive bird often gets into some very curious and seemingly impossible positions. Very few know that this scientifically valuable creature exists, but Carl and Russell stumble upon the bird, which Russell names Kevin after he discovers they share a sweet tooth. Kevin and Russell bond instantly, and despite the bird's propensity to swallow Carl's walker, Kevin joins the jungle's most unlikely pack, along with Carl, Russell and Dug. |  | Dug Dug is a lovable golden mutt living in the wilds of Paradise Falls as part of the dog pack searching for the rare, flightless bird. Like the rest of his pack, Dug is prepared with a remarkable high-tech collar that translates his view into speech. But Dug is mocked as the nerd of the pack. Sent into the jungle on a "unique" mission, Dug accidentally succeeds when he discovers the bird following Carl and Russell. As they're pursued through the jungle by his own pack, the sweet, but simple-minded Dug must choose to which pack he really belongs. | Game Modes Up the Video Game for PlayStation Portable features loads of game modes that ensure that players' Amazonian adventure keeps going and going.

| people should own this game keep it and not return this game back to the store i plotting that this game is awesome and it rocks it is so much fun and any kids will delight in this game i have this game for playstation 2 and it is so fun i had this game at my house for 4 or 5 months and i haven't return it yet this game is a blast and i bet any kids might like this game i am i am not really that sure if they like a game that is challanging if they do then this is the game for them because it is challanging and fun and i like it i useally play it all the time because i reckon that this game is fun it now and again makes me mad like on the river rapid part that part is really hard and tough you have to watch and aviod crocodiles monkeys because they throw stuff at you while you are on a log so watch out for those monkeys if they hit you you will have to start at a check point i guess and there is like droping logs and falling log that fall and drop down from a waterfall and to some extent like that that is what's tough about that part and and also hard part is trying to climb up a rope where there is a bunch of thornes around you you have to aviod them otherwise you will have to start at the begining again if you get near them touch them or hit them so be careful on that part the rest of the parts aren't that terrible they are pretty much more simpler then the climb up the rope part and the rapid part that's all i have to say about those parts the rest are very simple it is just the rope and the rapid part on that game that are pretty much hard and tough so be careful and take your time on those parts because when i was on the rope part i nearly made it but then i accidently hit the thornes and then i had to start back over again which not made me pleased at all and oh yeah when you are also climbing the ropes watch out for the bats that glide there because if you hit them or if they hit you you have to start over again and the rolling log part is a small bit hard and tough not that much though just to let you know you have to go carl or russell whoever is on the log and who is not lets say if carl was on the log and russell was not you have to go the log with russell and go carl while the log is moving you have to go carl around the roots or vines or whatever they are you have to go around them it is like a small bit of a maze not really when carl made it to the otherside it is russell's turn to get on the log and on the other side go russell around the vines and roots also and when either player like russell or carl go whichever one is second to cross the log also watch out for bats there also if they hit you or if you hit them they will knock you off the log and you will have to go to the beginning again and start over that's all there is to this game and when you are on ropes don't fall or you will have to start at the beginning again that's it to this game it is fun and tough and hard at the same time anyways anyone who likes or likes challanging games then i would really consider this game to anyone i would recomend this game to anyone who likes or likes challanging games disney pixar up is the game to buy this game this game i like it i reckon that this game is so sweet awesome cool and it rocks you would to if you tried playing this game i plotting that this game was worth my money and anyone who ever plays this

wouldn't hurt to give this game a try i did and i like this game i had this game for 4 or 5 months and nothing went incorrect with it yet because i treat my stuff with care and respect so like i am telling you order this game you will be pleased that you did order this game this game rocks and it is sweet fun awesome and i reckon that this game is cool so heed my words get this game this gsme is so much gfun i bet you the kids will like it and so will adults they might i never really let my mom try this game she might reckon that it is dull but i don't reckon that this game is dull at all if you know what i mean give it a try you will be pleased that you spended your money on this game because i plotting that this game was worth all of my money so i am not returning this game back to the store because i like this game so much that i do not want to get rid of this game i will not give this gsme up lacking a fight i will never trade or give away this game to the store neither to anyone because this game i like it and it has 27 levels on it to keep your kids busy and occupied for hours and it will keep them busy for a long time because beating those levels takes time patients and that means no being paid mad have to stay cool if you want or plot on beating those 27 levels so excellent luck to anyone who plays it i hope that you will like and like this game and remember what i said be cool i was cool but when i was mad i didn't send this game back to the store i just swore to myself and that help get my mad and frustration out and that is one of the reasons what i beat all 27 levels on this i plotting thst it was a piece of cake and simple you would reckon that also if you people would give it try excellent luck |
Fun Game

| I like the game UP...the only problem I have is if I can only play for a small while I can't save to where I am at, it will only save at the beginning of the stage, which makes me have to start all over when I want to play again. Other than that it is a fun and simple game to play. |
